Belkin Wireless adapter issues

I just recently installed Unbuntu 12.04 on my desktop. It easily recognized the Belkin USB Wireless N Adapter (F5D8053 v4), but every 5 to 10 minutes it will stop connecting to the internet. It continues to show that it is connected to the network, but nothing will download and pages will not load. Unplugging the adapter and plugging it back in will solve the problem for a short time, and then it will go down again. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is a fix.
